This machine is awesome. I've had mine a couple of years now. I got it as a Christmas gift from my cousin. I still have not gotten a copy of the manual(major slacker), but I usually only mess with it when I've been drinking so I don't need one that bad. I had a friend of mine hook his turntables up to it and he busted with some really impressive stuff. All in all, its a great way to kill some time.

Fantastic fun! As much, if not more fun than the Alesis airsynth. Surprisingly, not as cheesy as you would think. Some of the patterns are very good. Good effects, good interface, well built like all Yamaha stuff and good looking. I know people with tons of high end kit who mis-spend all their time playing around with one of these. I'm not exactly sure what it's for, but it's a great thing, nevertheless. Is it for DJ's, wannabe Dj's, kids, adults...who? It has a big following. The box is better than the keyboard which takes up too much room. Tons of easy joy!

This is great fun! Anyone who just gets bored, turn this on and after a bit of practice you can make some quite good tunes. I bought mine from 'Toys R Us '(a giant toy shop :p in the UK) for Â£65 and I have had it for about 4 years. Only this year did the 'Live Effector switch snap off when storing it, and the local yamaha shop dosent repair it. They wanted quite a bit to send it off to be repaired.

Another good feature is the batterys. I can plug some headphones in and some rechargable batterys and I can make music in the back of a car.

It has a lot of stuff built into this DJX IIB. Another reason why I like it. I soon want to buy the matching keyboard, reading reviews it seems quite good and I know they are compatible with each other.

A speak-n-say for the DJ! It's all that if you don't want to learn to much about programing your own patterns from the DEVICE or the lack of a step sequencer... However,I think it has a very usefull purpose if you are little rehearsed in musical talent .. You can sound BIG if you want to&learn the basics of this device with little effort,You can become a legend in your own mind!Presets and combos are clever but, Us that program a sequencer know how really limmited this will become..For face value and fun highly recommended ..For true musicians grab any Korg Electribe or a Roland D2 or even a Roland Phrase lab MC-09 These would be the "artists medium" in the DSP class economical grovebox like Synths.. I will give it face value of 5..for what it is, as what it claims it can do, and no more no less.. PS I like the fact that is is highly supported on the Yamaha website although I was only able ti Dload 5 new patches..?Humm Sounds in general to a mixer are good... Peace !!
